Yeesh, I guess that's offside.......but man oh man is this splitting hairs over nothing.

A successful challenge happened the other night in this tournament...

Overturned a goal...

IIHF rules...

This game...

2 linesman missed it... but a sharp eyed Canadian on the bench saw it...

Cheap yes...

But a correct call..

Correct call but a completely dumb rule. I always hated that you could theoretically go back minutes and nitpick an offside that had no impact on a play. Would make much more sense to only allow a challenge on goals off the rush or within a certain amount of time imo.

Its like the over the glass penalty. The perfect compromise is to allow the refs to call obviously intentional ones.
 
Actually Chistyakov touched the line with his skate again before pick entered the zone, but these refs...

That's cool. The puck was still just barely touching the blue line after that when his entire skate was inside the line.
